*laughs out loud* GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE!

People can sit and openly spam for exploit teams because there's no indication that anyone actually cares. That's the part that gets disheartening; the spam itself is just a symptom.

Second most people that send random tells to join an SG to people they don't know is by running down a list of searched characters and spamming tells. Actually during one gaming session recently I got somewhere around 10 tells from the same person in a bit over an hour(I usually reserve spam button for RMT people and special cases) to join their SG, about half as many from another member of the SG. About half of those were with an invite and got 4 invites without a tell. After that I wished I could ignore everyone in that SG and everyone on their friends list just in case. This is the most extreme case I have encountered by not uncommon for me to get 2 or 3 tells from same person about an SG. I mean I fell bad when I accidentally send 2 tells to one person to join a team but SG tells and invites?

Oh and a note about SG above: I actually accepted invite twice and second time actually counted new members and people that quit, in at most 3 minutes there were between 15-18 new members and an equal number of quits but not all the same people so amusing not everyone quit in the same amount of time.

a short story on virtue
as told from the point of view of a dormant rper

fightmonger zallitharsus: We must gathereth our forces and fight for the right to become incarnates! Forsooth! Watch as i draw my war mace and activate my shield powers! Gaze upon my valkyrie kilt and ring strap chest option! For some reason my eyes are on fire! What ho!

Punky mclonerguy: I'm so brooding and all of my plots involve deep introspection, which is similar to brooding but worth repeating. Also i use the hipster hair style, young face 5, the motorcycle leathers jacket/sleeves and the spiked collar detail. I mean, i wouldn't be brooding and introspective without those key items.

Catgirl: Sex

sg leader clay: Let's go rp in our base for 5 hours and not play the game!

Clay's sg buddies: Hear hear!

General p. Military: I'm a mercenary mm with mall-ninja-level knowledge of guns and i always wear a suit. Watch as i sit in pocket d and use /atease to look like i'm paramilitary. Please say hello to my associate, john q. Agent.

John q. Agent: I'm that guy who always follows the general and says cryptic things and never answers "yes" or "no" and always responds with words like "perhaps" and "possibly". I also talk about conspiracies, espionage and subterfuge even though i only know what the first one is. My other costumes all have gas masks.

Level 6 demon character: I am zorthoth! Bow to me, the tiem has come!

@insane v: ... @#$% this, i'm going to farm council.

For example:

Repeating the same message 100 times in 5 minutes is spam.

Repeating that same message once every 5 minutes is not spam.
